With Gareth Southgate yet to be permanently replaced as England’s manager, speculation has arisen that Pep Guardiola could potentially take on the role. The FA reportedly sees Guardiola as a fitting candidate for the position, with the Manchester City boss expressing admiration for the Three Lions team. Despite initial plans to appoint Lee Carsley on an interim basis, Guardiola has been tipped by figures like Sven Goran-Eriksson as a strong potential choice for the England job.
Having managed several English players and excelled in the Premier League, Guardiola’s understanding of English football makes him a natural fit for the England manager role. However, current reports suggest that Thomas Tuchel is the FA’s primary choice, with Guardiola not considered an active candidate at the moment. Tuchel’s track record of winning trophies aligns with the FA’s criteria for the next manager, and negotiations with him could lead to a relatively quick appointment.
Despite Guardiola’s past statements about preferring national teams to be managed by natives, there has been speculation about him potentially taking on the England job after leaving Manchester City in 2025. City’s recent talks of a contract extension with Guardiola hint at his continued commitment to the club, further clouding his chances of becoming the England manager. With Tuchel emerging as a favorite for the role, Guardiola’s future remains uncertain, raising questions about whether he will eventually accept the FA’s reported offer or continue his successful stint at Manchester City.
